No lap cat

This is a cougar I carved out of Mesquite back in 2007; I’d like to say it was one piece, but I’d be lying. The stump I was working with that looked SO much like a cougar lacked a tail, so I had to attach it later. What was extra nice about this one is that at the time there was a big cat rescue home not to far from the house, so I had plenty of live models to work from.
